If I told you I had 100 skeins of yarn, it would be an understatement. A drastic understatement. This month for the #CraftDestashChallenge, I decided to hunker down, use some yarn and accomplish a long-awaited goal. Awhile back I designed a cowl or scarf with a matching hat. I sold quite a few of them in local craft shows and in a nearby store. But, what I really wanted to do was to publish the patterns. So, after working through my notes again, using up some of the yarn in my stash, I have finally put the Shelly Scarf and Hat Crochet Patterns together and they are officially available for purchase!

Yarn and Friends
Before I go any further, I need to mention I couldn’t have done it without my friends. When the scarf and hat were available for purchase as a finished product, my friend Tanya took pictures. She got some shots of several finished pieces, but also some of the process.
Not only did end up using a little bit of the yarn in my stash, but I got this mentally off my mind! And a gift for a friend.
My super talented graphic artist web designer friend Gayle helped me perfect the layout of both patterns.
While in the yarn mode, I also started knitting a throw blanket for my living room and I’ve started making a few other designs things I’ve been mentally creating.
Crocheting has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. My grandmother began teaching me then. I have been known to crochet in the dark because once I determine my pattern, I can do it by feel. I hadn’t realized how much I missed it.
Here are a few of the finished pieces Tanya photographed.

More button details (I really love making fabric buttons out of my fabric scrap stash!)

And sometimes just a big statement button works better than fabric covered!
Shelly Scarf and Hat Crochet Patterns
Each pattern is full color with step by step instructions. I designed them to coordinate together, each working as one continuous piece. Red Heart Super Saver yarn works great and one skein is more than enough for both the scarf and the hat.
Since this is my first pattern, I’ve decided to offer a coupon for the next month! Check out my Etsy shop, when you purchase the scarf pattern now, you can get the hat pattern for only $1! Just subscribe below for the code.
I can’t wait to hear what you think. And I’m super excited to see what else my fellow bloggers have completed this month as a part of the challenge!
You are so talented! I love these pieces and the pretty buttons are the icing on the cake!
Thank you, I love digging through scrap fabric to find coordinating pieces for buttons
These are great! I really love the hats. I can crochet scarves and blankets – as long as it’s just a straight line. Nothing tricky. And I have a TON of yarn. I need to branch out and teach myself a little more!
That is what was fun about designing these… Once you do the scarf, it’s easy to apply it to the coordinating hat!
Seeing these makes me want to get out my yarn and crochet again. While I don’t have near 100 skeins, I do have a lot. You’ve inspired me to make something for next month!!
You should! I love working with yarn, kitting or crocheting!
I wish I knew how to crochet, because I’d definitely purchase that pattern. These are adorable! I’ve Pinned them!
Thanks, I learned to knit via the internet, so there’s always a way, lol!
I would love to learn how to crochet. My grandmother was great at it, but I don’t think my hubby would like me to take up another crafting hobby…lol.
My husband thought he could get me golf lessons and it could replace one of my craft hobbies! Nope, that’s not how that works!!!
I just love the adorable buttons you used! So cute!

Thank you!
That hat and matching cowel set is adorable. Wonderful job. Love it all.
Thank you!
The hat and scarf are both so cute! And I love the button accents. I love to crochet, too, but I don’t have tons of yarn stockpiled. Yet, lol.
Normally, I don’t have quite this much yarn on hand, I really need to make more stuff and get it down to a manageable level, lol
So glad the challenge inspired you to get this off your mind! Such cute patterns, I wish I was more adept at crochet. I’m the queen of dish rags, ha!
If you can do single, half and double crochet stitches, you can make these!
The scarves & hats are so pretty! I can’t believe you started at 5! That is awesome. Love the fabric covered buttons too.
I’m the only one of my cousins that was interested in learning and I’m thankful she taught me
Wow, these are cute! I wish I can crochet. Whatever I try I couldn’t get the hang of it. #HomeMattersParty
One of my daughters struggled to get the hang of it too, it takes practice in the beginning
Wow these designs are amazing! 🙂 I definitely don’t crochet, but this is awesome!
Thanks!
The crochet hats are so cute! I love how you add fun buttons to them. #HomeMattersParty
Thank you!

Thanks, I love lots of color!
The fabric covered buttons are a fabulous addition. I was taught the basics of crochet as a kid but never kept it up so now I would have to start all over, which I always talk about doing but just never get around to it. Your patterns/products look great. Thanks for sharing. #HomeMattersParty
I designed the pattern to use pretty basic stitches, maybe someday you’ll try it!
These are so cute!! I love the colours that you chose!
Thank you!
How cute are these?! Love the buttons. #HomeMattersParty

Thanks, the buttons are my favorite part
You do beautiful work. I never could get the hang of crocheting.
oh, thank you! My daughter has tried and couldn’t get the hang of it either. It definitely takes practice!
These are such pretty crocheted scarves and hats. You do an amazing job! #HomeMattersParty
Thanks!
These are all so pretty! The most difficult thing I’ve ventured to crochet is an infinity scarf with a pattern that is the same through the whole project, haha, so I’m always impressed by projects like these. Thanks for sharing! #HomeMattersParty
This is a lot of the same few stitches over and over again.
These are so cute and they look super warm. #HOmeMattersParty
Yep, nice and cozy!
Love this beautiful pattern Emily! #homemattersparty
